CG has some pretty nice ideas. They completely crushed GeekFam earlier, and now their Puck+WW lane against the BM+KotL was quite nice. Also moving TB mid against Invoker at the same time

This game is pretty great lol

Pure C9 madness, desperately pulling CG apart throughout the map because they can't fight head on.

Laughing my ass off when CG planted a sentry in their fountain and caught shadowbladed EE walking past, reading EE's clownishness perfectly.

First qualifier was a win for Fnatic after a pretty solid 3-1 win over TNC in the finals. It was the least important of the 4 quals that are happening this week, but still pretty promising now that PLD is back and is drafting

No more support tinker now plx

Although that was a thing in the past but it might be better to give less responsibilities considering he's already Fnatic's major shotcaller already. Afaik that was what he enjoyed about secret

TnC constantly outplaying Fnatic. Seems like if Abed can't get a good start, they will just get outpaced throughout the match

Really doesn't look like Fnatic will get a direct invite to TI at this rate

Wasn't counting on it if i'm being honest. Maybe last year Fnatic this year might actually look good but this year we have so many strong teams that weirdly we only have 1 really strong team we can point out that would be consistently be great each tournament.(VP)

I'm confident that Fnatic will be able to make it to TI since the gap between them and SEA minus Mineski and TnC is so large

And what makes you so confident, that TnC either qualifies for TI directly or loses to Fnatic at the SEA quals? Because I somehow doubt, that SEA gets 2 qualifier spots...

Last year TI had 18 teams and 3 SEA teams, and they have been much better this year. With 8 invites SEA should definitely get 2 qual spots.

TNC doesn't have that many points yet but MDL is a very good opportunity for them. Teams like VP and TL are skipping it so the field is maybe a bit easier. It wouldn't be that surprising for them to get solid points. Fnatic probably needs a finals spot from ESL Birmingham to have a chance at top8.

But it probably isn't so important. They should make it through the quals pretty comfortably with their current level, and for their sake hopefully they manage to take some steps forward still to contest for top placings in majors.

My impression is that their drafting hasn't been all that bad with PLD doing it in the last week. That's somewhat promising. But not sure if their play has really improved from previous events.

At this point, I don't think TnC or Fnatic will make it to TI directly but I'm confident there will be at least two SEA qualifier spots this year and that Mineski will almost surely not drop out of the top 8

Mineski likely to get direct invite to TI, while SEA likely will get at least another seat. If TNC / Fnatic perform better in next week tournament, SEA probably can secure 3 guarantee seats in TI.

SEA potentially can get their 3 teams invited but i think Mineski seems to be only one who might actually secure an invite(i know they got an invite now but that might change).

Closest probably would be TNC then followed by Fnatic(not too confident with fnatic seems to be lost as of the moment)

Noxville did a Monte Carlo simulation that had Fnatic direct qualifying chances at ~7.5% and TnC a bit lower than that, but hey, at least there's a chance

7.5% sounds generous.

If Mineski get an invite and there are two spots for SEA then Fnatic should be fine. If only three SEA teams get to go to TI then there's a big problem. Of course, it all depends on how they organise it.

How would three teams be a problem? Odds are Fnatic Mineski and TNC would be the three. I don't see any other SEA team coming close

Yeah, meant to say if only two teams go, sorry. Which would mean two SEA qualifiers but no direct invite, or a direct invite and only one SEA qualifier spot.

I think it's pretty likely that SEA get two qualifier spots whatever, but not three. Which means fans of Fnatic, TNC, and Mineski should be supporting each other. If any of them get a direct invite then I think all three are likely to get to TI. If none of them do, one will probably miss out, or have to go to some sort of wildcard.

Mineski has more than 3K DPC points and they will surely get a TI invite.

Fnatic or TNC can also secure invite if they can get top 2 (for Fnatic) or win (for TNC, or 2 top 2) in majors given that the top 5-6 DPC teams are not dropping out before top 4 in every tournament suddenly. Problem is Fnatic has only 1 more major to play and I guess TNC 2 more.

Still, TNC and Fnatic should qualify easy given that SEA has 2 slots which should be there, considering only SEA and NA will actually have more than 1 team in qualifiers who can be dark horses to make it to the top 3 in TI on paper.
